Simon Pierro, a self-made German magician has published a demo of a preview version of iOS 5. We admit it, it's not the real iOS 5, but it's loaded with "magical" features that makes many of us wish it was real.
With Apple’s official announcement of iOS 5 just around the corner (watch this space!), concept videos for possible UI features are cropping up from all over the place. We showed four such concepts yesterday and we have another one today!
iOS 5 is going to be Apple's next-generation mobile operating system, running on iPhones, iPads and iPod touches. This new artist-made concept, created by Monkey Color and entitled "4 things we'd LOVE to see in the next iOS", depicts features that are rumored to be coming in iOS 5, such as widgets and an enhanced notification system.
We're just days away from this year's Apple Worldwide Developers Conference and as usual the rumor-mill is in full swing. Apple has already confirmed iOS 5 and Mac OS X Lion will be shown off at the event's keynote address, along with the much anticipated iCloud service, whatever that may turn out to be. But now we have a whole new rumor, and we like it. We like it a lot!

On Friday, Peter Hajas, the author of the well-known MobileNotifier iOS tweak, unexpectedly announced on his blog that he's "taking a break". Yet, many are speculating that there might be other reasons behind his sudden departure.

iPhone 3GS users should be disappointed, since, according to a tweet by a popular and well respected Russian tech analyst Eldar Murtazin, who's broken stories in the past, the 2009 device, iPhone 3GS, won't be getting iOS 5.
iOS 5 is expected to bring with it some juicy new features, not least a new notification system and application developers are starting to see the next iOS version show up in the stats they receive from Apple. Proof the company is ramping up testing, perhaps?
Folks at Vietnamese site Tinhte claims to have got their hands on an official white iPhone 4 from Apple which is said to be running a pre-release version of iOS 5. Video after the break.
